Colin Gray, a 54-year-old man, is the father of Colt Gray, who committed a mass shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, in September 2024. The shooting resulted in the deaths of two students and two teachers. Colin Gray is newsworthy because he was recently found guilty of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in connection with the shooting. The verdict was reached on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, after a jury deliberated for a few hours following approximately two weeks of testimony. Gray was convicted on multiple charges related to providing his teenage son with the rifle used in the attack, which was reportedly given as a Christmas gift. This case is significant as it highlights the legal accountability of parents in cases of gun violence involving their children.
